HOW BURGLARS HAVE
TOOLS Made.

"A New York macllinest tells an
interesting story about his deal
ings with burglar. He was sit
ting in his Office a few months ago
when two men entered with n de.
SIGN they wanted made of steel.
He took the job and turned it out
according to order. The men came
i'll the next day, and after chat
ting pleasantly about the Doodle
aldermen and other matters of
popular interest in the city, paid
their bill and went away. Several
other designs were brought him
by the two men, and he got to
know them quite well. lie did not
learn their business, however; but
it is such II common thing to deal
with men whom men knows only
by sight, that Mr.. jennings never
bothered his head about it.
But he found out who the men
were after all.
One day they called to have him
make half dozen eight inch steel
screws. He promised them for s
O'Clock, but the men did not come.
He did not see them the next day
or the next. On the third day one
of Pinkcrton's detectives dropped
i'll upon him in the afternoon car
rying hand satchcl. He opened
it and threw lot of curiously
shaped pieces OF steel on the table.
"Were these made in your shop,
Mr.. Jennings?" causuully remarked
the detective.
Eyes, that's our work"
"Who did you make them for."
snow you've got me-it's more
than I can tell. l never had my reas
on TO inquire, and the men didn't
bother about telling me-"
"But you are sure you made that
steel work here!"
Eyes, oh yes; I'm sure enough OF
that"
Two days later Mr.. Jennings was
subp@aned by tie prosecution rs
witness against two men who had ut
tempted to crack the safe in the bank
in Ellenville, Ulster county. He met
n Harlem machinist and al ironwork.
er from down town at tho court
house in Kingston. Pinkcrton's men
opened wide their eyes when he took
the pieces of steel that ench Ind
shaped, and, putting them together,
showed what perfect sectional jim
my they made.

NATIONAL GUARD.
Circular Letter No. G.

HEADQUARTERS SECOND REGIMENT
DAKOTA NATIONAL GUARDS, WA
TERTowN, MARCH 25, 1887.
To the members of the second regi-
ment: The military code Of Dakota
having been amended at the late ses-
sion of the Legislature. the colonel COM
manding deems it important that the
main features Of the present law should
be at once made known to his COM
mand. which is briefly done as follows:
The law as amended provides for bat
talon of artillery, battalion OF cav
airy (both at the discretion of the
commaLder-in-chiefl, two regiments of
infantry of ten companies each, an adj
jutant generals and pension depart
ment. an inspector and judge advocates 4
department, a supply department, an
engineer and ordinance department,
and medical department.
These departments, while necessary
even for perfect organization of ouI
present small force, in times Of peace
would be sufficient for the speedy or.
ganization of an army Of $4,000 men in
case of emergency.
The governor may order brigade OF
regimental encampments, as he deems
best for the interest Of the guards. Nc
company can obtain more than forty
enlisted besides non-comissioned Offi
GERS. two musicians and three commits
stoned officers, making total Of fifty.
four. Not less that six davis encamp
ment can be held, exclusive Of g0ini
and returning from camp. A complett
and thorough discipline may be enforced
and means are provided for the holding
of court martial, to and for the purpose
of trying offenders, for the collection Of
fines and enforcing punisl ment for dis
obedience to orders. A pension from
the Territory is allowed for persons dis
abied in the service. The adjutant
generals Office is made bureau for tht
collection Of pensions free Of charge
for all for all soldiers of the late war
who may be entitled to receive pensions
The term OF enlistment Is wisely made
three years instead Of two, with tn,
proviso that any members who have
recently re-enlisted for two years, ma!
at the expiration Of their term, enlis'
for one year. The uniform Of tht
United States army is required. Tire,

annually. instead of $500 as heretofore
The per diem at encampment is re
duced to IS cents per day, but longel

as the troops get the benefit of longer
time at camp to drill.
The colonel commanding hopes that
upon such foundation as is now made.
that the Dakota National guard will
build itself up to be one of the greatest
objects of pride possessed by our Ter
ritory. A prompt re-enlistment and
reorganization is expected on the part
OF all companies whose term expires in
the near future. BY this means our
regiment will be enabled to go into
camp with majority of trained and
disciplined men and be enabled there
fore, to make rapid advance towards
perfection, such as is expected by a
generous public. The colonel COM
manding extends congratulations TO
the second over its past record, while
he has renewed hopes for the future,
under the existing favorable circum-
stances, and trusts to see each company
filed to the maximum limit, by young
men determined to profit by this op-
portunity offered by the Territory. of
perfecting themselves In the duties of
the citizen soldier.

THE election contest in Yankton
took an unexpected turn and ended in
direct fight on the temperance ques-
tion. On the start business mems
ticket was nominated, wholly nonpar-
tisan, and with no issue except the
general good of the city. But the sa-
loon men imagined the line drawn too
closely on them, and 50 organized a
citizens ticket, and thus forced the
issue on the temperance question. The
business men realized that they must
meet the issue or get left and SO
they organized their forces and did
such efficient work that they carried
the day by heavy majority.

TEACHING CHILDREN TO
READ.

/ usually reach my school-room as
early as half past eight, and spend q
few minutes in writing lessons on the
board for my primary classes. I copy
lessons from the book used by the class.
and from others, inserting names OF
pupils who attend school, Of parents in
the district, OF pet horses, dogs, ETC.,
in the place OF the names found in the
book. Sometimes original lessons for
first and second reader grades are based,
on little things which every child
knows something about. A teacher
who keeps her eyes open to what is go-
ing on in the child-world can write any
number Of pleasant stories. and have
found that children are always very
much interested in reading them. "A
they come into the room. they begin TO
read what I have written, and there is
quite little excitement as they f1nd
their own names and those OF play
mates and pets. This is one way Of
keeping up an interest and supplying
supplementary reading. In this kay.
too, get In . good many stories with
